Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Children with low-grade fever can be cooled down physically, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the course of treatment.
